Naturopathy is a unique kind of primary care that combines modern research and scientific advancements with age-old healing practices. Fasting therapy, food therapy, hydrotherapy, massage therapy, mud therapy, chromotherapy, and air therapy are examples of non-invasive treatments.

Respiratory illness is linked to Autonomic nervous system (ANS) imbalance. Two possible presentations of asthma include imbalances between the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems (PNS and SNS), or hyperfunction of the PNS in the airways. Numerous naturopathic treatments can be used to balance the autonomic nerve system. The number of people with chronic respiratory diseases globally in 2017 was 544·9 million (95% uncertainty range), which was a 39·8% rise from 1990.Localized douches can be utilized to treat illnesses of the respiratory system. Early hydrotherapy textbooks discuss how a brief cold application can aid to enhance lung function. Currently only one evidence is published on neutral douche, and no evidence of the effects of cold douche is currently available. Therefore, understanding how cold douche affects thoracic rebound in pulmonary function will be aided by this research. This will help to enhance the efficacy of hydrotherapeutic techniques.
